IRON MAIDEN Guitarist Dave Murray - "This Is How The Band Will Exist In The Future"Creative Loafing's Joel Weiss has issued a new interview with
IRON MAIDEN guitarist
Dave Murray. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Since the last lineup change when
Bruce (Dickinson) and (guitarist Adrian Smith) rejoined, I think this has been the longest period in the band’s history where the same lineup has played together. How has that affected the chemistry and songwriting?
A: "This is it, really. This is how the band will exist in the future. I can’t see there being any changes. Ultimately it’s the perfect lineup because it does extend back to when Adrian was in the band for the first few albums. And obviously when Bruce was in the band, so this is obviously the strongest and most creative lineup Maiden has ever had. Everything kind of gels and glues together really well. As far as rehearsing and writing, everything fits into place nicely. We just sit down like we always do and work out songs. We wouldn’t be changing anymore. This is it – I think we’re kinda far along enough now to say. Also, it’s my favorite lineup, and also most of the other guys. There’s a chance for everyone to play and enjoy what they’re doing."
